Things NOT to feed your snails?

The onion family, pasta, rice, celery... uh.. can't remember what else.

There's a little amount about pasta and rice etc under the food lists here:

There's also a list of toxic plants here:

I'm sure someone else knows some others lol

Cooked meat with a lot of ingredients

Why?

I have observed snails eating onion stems in my back yard which are stronger than leeks and obviously the same family. They stripped them bare and they have more of a sting than leeks. Animals don't like onions generally, and I know the juice can be used as a natural deterrent to pests but I've not heard of it being dangerous. Can anyone back this up with proof or an account of them being harmful?

Rice is probably best to avoid, but it is different than millet and pasta which are proven to be dangerous and I've yet to hear of any problems, again I'd like to know for sure.

And celery, does anyone know why?

With the onion family, and it might have been celery too, I was told to be careful with foods that might disguise it like baby food. On their own I've seen the same as Sarah, people have said it's harmed/can harm them.

Ive fed my snails onions with no prob

I've fed mine rhubarb before, although they didn't eat much it, i didn't see any ill-effects

Although, regards the celery, one of my snails died after i gave celery to them . Can't be sure it was because of that tho (as i didn't just give it to that one and the others didn't appear effected) but about a week later i read (in an ad on ebay i think ) that it was harmful.

I give mine celery leaves and it's never had a bad effect on them.

Oranges. Reason being is that my snail had a reaction to the juice from an orange segment and the acid burnt away some of his skin. It has now almost healed up, but he still has the scars. Of course, this may only be with my snail. Others have found no problems with oranges, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Maybe...but so far that snail hasn't had any problems. After all, it was a small puddle of orange juice that had collected within the food dish, and he was sitting in it.

Good idea though!

OH O!! ive given my snails celery - only a bit mind - and havnt seen any side effects ..... yet?!?!?! *hmmmmmmmmmmmm*

i feed mine celery alot with no adverse affects.

noy killed any yet.

why is it ment to be bad ?

It seems like it's trial and error with some things I've read not to give them celery but some people have given theirs celery and I know some people give theirs orange and the snails have been alright.
